illness.
Say, we got in some swell
Spring Suitings last week.
They are right up to the mo-
ment,
Coats are two inches loner than
last year, and the lapels are so much
broader and deeper that youcan'thelp
but notice them.
The vests are cut with five buttons.
The pants are just a little pegtoppy.
They are beauties alright for $15,
$18 and $20, and no matter where you
go you can't find anything that will
fit as nicely as they do.

Forecasts for May.
A Reactionary Storm Period falls
from the:2nd to the 5th; is prolonged
oyer, the 4th by the Moon's passage
over celestial equator on the 5th. A
very warm wave for the season, sus-
tained until atter storms of rain, wind
and thunder about the 4th and 5th,
will pass from west to east at this
time. Careful observers of clouds and
other indications, especially with the
aid of a good barometer, may safely
tell whether gathering storms will be
violent or moderate. Change to rising
barometer and cooler behind these
stories will be of short duration. A
regular stortn period, central on the
9th, covers the 7th to 12th. By the
8th low barometer and much warmer
will be advancing from the west, at-
tended by very decided storms. From
9th to 12th a series of storms will sweep
most parts of the country,progressive-
ly from west to east. Rapid change to
high barometers, westerly gales and
much cooler will follow this series of
storms, and frost will visit many cent-
ral to northern sections from the 10th
and 14th.
